  • Recommended Bull Bar and Installation Method for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo

  • Is Curt Class III Trailer Hitch for a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Rated for Weight Distribution
  • Curt Class III trailer hitch # 13251 for the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee is rated for use with weight distribution. When used with weight distribution the gross trailer weight capacity is 5,500 pounds and the tongue weight capacity is 550 pounds. You would need to stay within that limit or within the capacity of the vehicle, whichever is lower. You can use a weight distribution system that is rated for 600 pounds tongue weight such as # FA94-00-0600 or # FA92-00-0600 but will be limited to...

  • Will Brake Lock Up on 4000 lb Towed Vehicle Have Any Effect on Hitch with 5000 lb Weight Rating
  • The vehicle being towed would represent rolling weight. If the braking system on the towed vehicle would activate the towed vehicle would skid, and not come to an immediate dead stop. The force exerted might be momentarily more than the 5000 lbs, but no more than a trailer with electric brakes that have been activated. I would not be concerned, a hitch with a 5000 pound capacity. Using a quality tow bar that has been properly installed will work just fine for you.

  • What is the Height of the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack
  • The 1-1/4" height that you're seeing for the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack # RRRVP27 actually has to do with the physical crossbar itself. From the roof of your 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee to the bottom of the RVP crossbar system will be about 3-1/2" give or take since your roof isn't extremely flat.

  • Will the Curt Wireless Brake Controller Work w/out a Brake Controller Wire?
  • You're in luck because the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller item # C51180 doesn't require the brake controller wire to function. You control the settings from an app on your phone so you don't need the blue wire to change them or hit the manual override. So long as the rest of your 7-way is fully functional you'll be good to go. I have linked a review video below.

  • Is there a Base Plate Kit that Lets me Keep the Tow Hooks on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
  • No, the tow hooks come off no matter what brand of base plate you use. This is extremely common amongst SUVs and trucks with flat towing set ups. That's a solid anchor point and attaching a base plate there hides it extremely well. Here are the parts I recommend you use to set up a 2021 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 to be flat towed: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643 Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable...
